Kou vs Wu

I just got another cup of coffee and have planted myself for a front-row seat. Let the festivities begin, BlowFish!

I'm pulling for Wu! What a great story it would be to see this 16-year-old child prodigy win the 2005 WPC! :)

How do you pronounce "Kuo"? Is it like "Ku" or "Kwoo" or "Kwow" or "Que-oh"?

EDIT: It would help if I spelled it right! :rolleyes:

Is "Kou" pronounced "Cow" or "Kwa" or "Ko-ooh"?

Like-wise. They are still running the highlights, so I think it won't start for a bit. I want Wu as I have a VBookie on him. otherwise I'll be left with 25. :(

It's pronounced "Gwo" according to my Taiwanese business colleague.

Well, just for being in the trenches, BlowFish, I think you should get some V-Chips for keeping all of us up to date. I'll try to get a hold of the V-Bookie and see if I can make a V-Transfer of some of my V-Chips to you! :p

So, for us English-speaking fans, it's the Kou [Kwoo] versus Wu Show!

OT, I've got a cat named Willie, after Willie Mosconi of course! My family members call him "Wu-Wu."

I'll bet Wu is scared to the bone stepping in the pit of this event. However, he spanked the Philippino Marvelous Marlin Manalo with no problem. This is going to be exciting!

Kuo looks younger than Wu, just by looking at the pictures, but he's 27, I understand.

Kuo 0 vs Wu 1

Kuo breaks and makes the 5 with a decent look at the 1 with no offence. Kuo runs for cover badly. Wu runs for cover too. Kuo fires away and barely making it. Wu has a table lenght makeable cut. Wu aims and nearly making it.

Kuo is hampered by the 9, but sees the 1. Fires away and misses offering the 1 to Wu.

Wu gets the easy 1, 2, 3 enroute for a clean up. Goes for the 4, 6, 7, going around the table for the 8 and then the easy 9 to draw first blood.

Kuo 1 vs Wu 1

Wu breaks and makes the 3 and 6 with no clear shot on the 1 covered by the 7. Wu pushed out. Kuo declines and gives it back to Wu. Wu brings jumpy in and makes the 1. Wow!!!

Wu has a makeable 2 as well. Wu takes his time on the tester of a 2. Cuts it to bottom left and delivers. Another tough cut on the 4 off the top rail, but missed it.

Kuo has a reverse cut to top right. Packets it to go around for the 5 top left. Makes the 5 with an easy 7 to the same packet. 8 bottom right and back to the 9 for bottom left to go even.

If a player makes the 9 on the break, is it counted as a win in this venue? Or does it get spotted up?

Go Wu!

Commercial break.

Wu has a lovely Instroke Case(I guess). It's colored very american stars and stripes. It's red, white and blue.
